Movie Reviews of Adam - Giselle / Nureyev, Seymour, Mason, Bavarian State Ballet
Movie Review: A True Classic In Mint Condition
Summary: 5 Stars
If someone wanted to know what a classic performance was, this would be a great example. This performance and presentation are nearly perfect. The image quality is great and the sound quality is excellent. The only flaw is that the color intensity is a little weak, which gives it a slight sepia appearance, which is not really a bad thing for a period piece. The orchestral version used here is a little unusual. It may be the edition they used. It has a very clear chamber orchestra quality enhanced by excellent microphone placement and good engineering.
The peasant pas de deux is actually danced by Seymour and Nureyev, themselves, typically Nureyev. The choreography he uses for this part is quite interesting. Nureyev is in classic form here and he looks like he's enjoying himself, as is the rest of this excellent cast( the corps, too!). Nureyev was a very fine ballet actor and his mime(which includes all non-dance modes of expression) is great here. In the beginning of the first act he is very amusing in the way he tells his servant not to worry about his little adventure to come. Because this is in such great condition and a great performance, it is a fine choice for all audiences.
Summary of Adam - Giselle / Nureyev, Seymour, Mason, Bavarian State Ballet
Ballet great Rudolf Nureyev stara as Albrecht in a lovely production of the dance perennial. This was one of Nureyev?s greatest successes in his native Russia and he has performed the role around the world ever since. Giselle-perhaps the quintessential ballet heroine is danced by the great Canadian prima Ballerina Lynn Seymour. Nureyev?s production brings this timeless tradegy of love found, lost and redeemed to life.Similar DVD Movies
